Here's whhy new OC relic step is dumb

[Kirutsuki]

I am not going to waste any more breath on Dawntrail. I hope the lack of content is because they are working damn hard on 8.0 to make up for this.

This is not a lack of content issue, it's lack of innovation and creativity with systems they already have implemented in the game in the past that were serviceable, but not great.
And instead of going "hmm how could we add this relic step, but make it more interesting" they went "slap that shit on from there and hope for the best".
